Miscellany of Bender's Big Score

This article is about the trivia, the quotes, the references, etc. appearing in Bender's Big Score. It does not, however, include DVD information, character listings and cast information.

It is a separated article due to the fact that the amount of information to deal with in a trivia manner is huge compared to a regular episode.

Warning! The following text contains spoilers about a plot! Reading it before seeing the episode/film yourself will seriously alter your viewing experience! You have been warned.

Allusions

• Star Wars
  • The magnifier Farnsworth uses to zoom in on Fry's butt has the sound of a lightsabre.
  • The Scammers have bought several remote-controlled solid gold Death Stars.
  • Nixon says, "the Force is with us, but that is about it."

Continuity

There are several references to earlier episodes of Futurama. Following episodes are mentioned;

• Space Pilot 3000
  • Bender flies by when Fry is frozen and destroys New York.
  • Bender mistakes the frozen Fry for the one he is hunting.
  • Bender meets Michelle and the boyfriend he drove off with just before Fry got frozen.
  • Fry touches his own butt when he wants the wallet in his own frozen self, his frozen self wakes up, and he continues to hide inside the tube to 7.95 years later.
• The Cryonic Woman
  • When Fry (as Lars Fillmore) decides to freeze himself (again), he uses the tube with his girlfriend in (which is at 254 years at the time), he changes the date for the freeze to 990 years, revealing that otherwise the events of that episode would not have happened.
  • Thus revealing that events of that episode took place in 3002.
• Roswell that Ends Well
  • Fry tells Farnsworth that they went back in time to Roswell, which Farnsworth cannot remember (and also that it proves nothing).
• Jurassic Bark
  • Seymour Asses is seen several times, and it is revealed that they still keep his fossilised version at Planet Express.
  • When the building crashes with Fry in it, Seymour is thus fossilised. Which is also important to know why this must take place in 2012, because Farnsworth discovers in the episode that Seymour lived 12 more years after Fry left him - thus dying in 2012.
